Satok weekend market

Posted by James Chee on April - 21 - 2012

Located along Jalan Satok, this famous weekend market opens around noon time on Saturday and continues until late Sunday afternoon. As of writing, this market is about to be moved to a new ultra modern, purpose-built building across the Satok bridge.  A popular bargain hunting ground for local when it comes to food, vegetable, household items, clothings and the likes and is also a hit with tourists and visitors to sample the local culture and daily life.

Incredibly beautiful orchid for the flower lovers!

Canopies shield the heat, but is a heat trap too. Go in the evening or early morning for those who can’t stand heat and humidity.

Since Dec. 2012, this market was moved to a huge purpose-built market just across the river via the Satok bridge. This complex consists of an open space (mostly for rural traders to display their agricultural produce, like vegetable and fruits) and a covered section for wet market, food courts, stalls, and shops. This market is most busy during weekend like Saturday and sunday, starting early in the morning till late in the evening. On weekdays, only the covered sections are open.
